rootfs: don't use the Armbian repo when building rootfs from both GHA…

… pipelines and CLI; fixes #7123

- Fixes: 7129643 -- which only set `SKIP_ARMBIAN_REPO=yes` when `rootfs` cli shortcut used
  - GHA artifact pipelines are generic across all artifacts, and don't use the cli shortcuts
    - instead, they use the `artifact` shortcut, with the `WHAT=rootfs` parameter
    - so in GHA pipelines `SKIP_ARMBIAN_REPO=yes` was not taking effect
- rootfs artifact itself now enforces `SKIP_ARMBIAN_REPO` to be `yes` and makes it readonly
- also add `SKIP_ARMBIAN_REPO` to the general change-tracking for more clarity about configs and hooks etc
- add change tracking calls before/after generic artifact config adapter for even more clarity
